As many of you readers know, I have been trying to replace many of the cleaners and body products we use with natural, healthy alternatives. I've been making a lot of these things from scratch and it has been going very well. However, I know most of us don't have time to do much of anything "from scratch" and so I have been investigating a company with natural, organic products so that I could not only purchase pre-made natural products that I could trust but also so that I could share it with my friends who are also trying to switch to this greener lifestyle.
I discovered Celadon Road in the October 2011 Women's Day magazine where it was listed as one of the top new home based direct sales companies. I contacted one of the directors and we have been "chatting" via e-mail for a few months. I've been praying about joining this company since then.
Last month, she sent me some samples to try out and to blog about. She also sent ingredient lists for their products. I was very impressed with the products I tried and with the VERY organic product ingredient lists.
The first product I tried is the the Celadon Road Lime Laundry Detergent that comes in a 32 oz. canister
that will wash 32/64 loads of laundry. You only have to use 2 Tbsp for a top loader or 1 for a front loader so it should last a long time. I also tried the Jasmine Laundry detergent. I was very impressed with both of them - clean clothes, no itchy skin, nice clean smell! The detergent doesn't over sud in the washer and there is no static cling when they come out of the dryer. Ingredients:
Sodium Bromate, Soda Ash, Coconut Oil, Clay Powder, Vinegar and Essential Oil.
I also tried out the All Room Cleaner. It is simply baking soda, vinegar, and lime essential oil. It is very similar to what I've been using at home but it is in one container! I've been using baking soda with essential oil and then spraying vinegar. With this cleaner, you put a little on a damp sponge or cloth, rub it in and clean away. It did a great job on the tub and sink in the bathroom as well as the kitchen sink. I really like this product!
Finally, we tried the bar soap. It was an unscented, gentle product that we used at the sink and in the tub. It didn't dry out our skin or leave a residue.
After this product sampling, I decided to dive in and join the company as a consultant! I've listed a little about the company below:
